Tlio Junior High School
Tho board of education is consid
ering establishing n Junior high
school nnd.placlng tho building on the
samo block with tho Central High
School. If carried out tho suggested
plan will bo something as follows:
In order to mako more room In tho
ward schools It Is proposed to trans
fer tho eighth grades from each of
thoso schools to tbls Junior high
school and also take tho Ninth grade
from tho Central high school nnd
put It In tho Junior high school. A
building would be erected which
would have onoucli class ronmn Irt
accommodato these two grades and
Hint would relievo all of tho buildings
wo now have of their congestjon.
Tho now building would also havo a
gymnasium connected with tho Con
. tral high school by a closed passage
leading from tho north entrance Tills
gymnasium would liavo a iloor largo
enough for basket ball and a balcony
so nrranged that tho basket ball lloor
would be In sight from ovcry part of
tho balcony. Tho gynaslum lloor nnd
balcony would bo seated with folding
Beats and chairs and could accomo
date about 1000 peoplo when filled.
Opening directly on tho street It
would bo a coinmiuiilty center and
meeting placo for all public functions.
Connected with tho gynaslum would
bo shower baths for both boys and
girls nnd nmplo lockor and dressing
rooms. At least eight regular school
class rooms would bo located on theso
floors and they would have their own
ontrnnco and exit. On tho first floor
would bo a largo room, perhaps 24
by BO dovotcd to' manual training for
tho boys. Another room about the samo
size would bo fitted up for domestic
sctenco for tho girls. Another foaturo
which could bo added tor this building
In tho basement without any lnrgo ex
pense would bo a swimming pool.
This would bo regulation slzo innd
would bo a regular attraction Jho year
around.
Tho object of the Junior high school
Is to tako tho boys and girls during
tho transition ported, when so many
of them becomo discouraged with tho
regular school studies and orop out of
school, and give them this manual
training along with their other studies
After having finished theso courses
in Tho junior high school tho pupils,
would enter tho senior hlgli school
and still have tho advantages, of tho
gynnBium, auditorium, swimming, pool
nnd shower baths. Oilier cities iiavo
theso things and think they are nec
essary. They keep tho gymniiBlum open
ovonlngs until 10 p. m. nnd have all
kinds of ovcnlng classes for mon and
women as well as tho school dcodIc
Tho board of education will welcomo
suggestions from anyono, In regard
to tbls matter. If anyono hns a bet
ter plan ho is urged to mako it known
so tho very best arrangement can bo
made for Increased school nno.nmmn
datlons nnd for Iho incorporation of
lnrgcr courses Into tho curriculum of
tho school.

schoolB was taken up and discussed.
Sovcral of the mombors of the board
expressed their views rcKardhiK the
means of overcoming tho difficulty of
lack of school room nnd thoy all
agreed that a now scliool building
was necessary. One of tho mombors
stated that In his opinion ,tho present
high school building ought to be
turned Into a grado scliool and a now
high school building constructed. It
was reported, however, by a member
of tho school board who was present
that If the sovonth and eighth grades
could bo brought to the Central build
lng thero would bo adequate room for
tho accomodation of tho grado pudIIb
In tho ward schools for years to come.

take up tho matter with them.
Postmaster E. S. Davis then re
ported to tho bonrd that tho mall -do
livery out in the Garfield vicinity was
very poor since the closing of the
Myrtlo postofllce. Many of tho resi

with tho local department nnd If linn
.been submitted to the government to
establish a rural route and tho govern
ment has refused to glvo them thd mall
routo even with Borvico only two or
three times weekly. Tho residents
havo now taken up the matter them
selves and expect to get their own de
livery and establish a postofllco on tho
Garfield Table. Tho government wl)l
take up the matter as soon as the
peoplo try It out and If after auditing
tho Independent postofllco It shows a
possibility of establishing n postofTice
tho department will establish It.
This matter, lioweyor, will take
months nnd tho people will have
bear tho oxpenso of It until It Is trie

We Are Called a "Big Corporation'9
Tho phrase, "big corporation," is
often used ae-if ono were describing, a
certain individual reputed to have
horns.
i
There aro bad corporations and
. good, corporations, just as there aro
bad men and good.
Some corporations in the past have
done things that, in the name of jus
tice, they had no right to do; but all
corporations should not suffer for the
, sins of a few.
But times have changed. The corpo
ration is a dandy that gets away with
anything that it should not in these
days of the vigilant press, tho watch-
ful public and the various Btate and
national public service commissions.
Today the public aro watching tho
corporations closer than any cat ever
watched at a rat hole; but no corpo
ration that intends to be on the square
objects to being watched.
Big business means more economy,
greater efficiency and intelligent or
ganization. It means better service
at a less cost to the public.
Merely being a "big corporation"
should not be considered a crime.
This company is big because it has
to bo. A child can't do a man's work.
This company must be big to do a big
jobto render big servico to you.
We Advertise So That the People May Know."
